welcome to the site! What you can do is "build" your own Camaro on GM's website, optioned just the way you want. Then you take that to a Chevy dealer that has "open allocation" to place your order into the computer system. It's then "accepted" by GM and built at the factory a few weeks later, and shipped to the dealer. That is a happy day... It's best to find a dealer selling them at MSRP (not selling it for thousands over sticker price), and with a low deposit (usually 500-1000 is typical, to place your order and not sell it out from under you to someone else willing to pay lots more when it comes in). Some dealers have a few on the lot, most do not. Those that do will probably mark it up overcharging people, it's called an "availabilty charge" or some other BS. Next year they will be a lot more on the lot to choose from without having to order and wait, but a lot of ppl want a rare combo and ordering and waiting is the only way to get exactly what you want. Hope you can have one someday dude!!
